Hello,
I'll need but a gigabit switch, 8 port.
I found D-Link DGS-1008D or Netgear GS608, by example
I found no test, what is the better gigabit switch for 8 ports, which is
not very expensive?

I recently bought this one "3CGSU08-ME"
http://www.3com.com/prod/fr_FR_EMEA/detail.jsp?tab=features&sku=3CGSU08
In Norway it costs Kr. 650,- NOK = ? 81,15 EURO
For its price, you get a good name, and a fancy look ;->
I had to put black tape in front of the LED's as I cant stand
that STRONG flashing blue light.

You usually get what you pay for. Cheap one are - cheap. You really
must ask
yourself "how much performance do i need" "and how do i figure out
where my
bottleneck is". A cisco 4948 would give you top performance, but can
you
fill it ?
Said that, get a cheap one, chances are that the bridge is not your
bottleneck.

I believe that there are chip sets, or maybe a single chip
for the smaller switches, so all one has to do is build a
box and power supply around one.

For home use, I would agree. It might be that more expensive
ones have a better power supply, for example, and would be
better in some environments.

Not sure if it is in the desired price range, but HP ProCurve has an 8
port Gigabit Ethernet switch out there now:
http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/ProCurve_Switch_1800_Series/overview.htm
are managed versions, and then there are:
http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/switch2708-2724/overview.htm
which are unmanaged. I've had occasion to use the 2724 myself and was
happy with it. I've not had occasion yet to try the 1800's - while
I'm not in the ProCurve part of the HP house, the old saying about the
cobblers children still applies :)
